Thus allowing one to gain the bonuses of HD via a normal class and still gain the extra bonuses of a monster class would allow some normal/monster class builds to be very powerful, much more so than a normal gestalt build. This is the similar to the reason why I would not allow a gestalt War Hulk.I think you could make it work if you remove HD from the monster classes and rebalanced their level progressions so that the features of one monster class level are equal to the class features of one normal class level. This would more than likely increase the number of levels in each monster class. I would guess by about an average of 1.5x the current number of levels.It might also be interesting to have allow gestalt dual monster class characters using the better of the classes HD/level progression as well as the better HD, saves, skill points, and BAB (based on gained HD not level of course).</blockquote>
